Description:  TITLE: Airworthiness Directives; Various Transport Airplanes  
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT  
ACTION: Final rule; request for comments  
SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2019 -20- 03, which applied to 
various transport airplanes. AD 2019 -20-03 required modification of certain universal serial bus 
(USB) receptacles located i n the flight deck. Since the FAA issued AD 2019 -20-03, it has been 
determined that additional airplanes are affected by the unsafe condition. This AD continues to 
require the modification and expands the applicability, as specified in a European Union Avia tion 
Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is incorporated by reference. This AD also prohibits the installation 
of affected parts. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
